Yuzuru raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding, and lowered his head to create a perfect silhouette of their profiles in the light, like a heartwarming parent-child scene.
"Genetics is truly amazing, Mother."
Conan: "..."
Ai: "......"
The three little ones: "......"
No, you two are actually putting on an act, aren't you?
Moreover, it must be said that Yukiko truly lives up to her title as a former international film queen; her acting skills are unparalleled.
Her face was beaming with a gentle smile, her eyes filled with doting affection, and her interaction with Yuzuru was natural and smooth, as if they were truly a mother and son with a deep bond.
Those who don't know the situation might be truly misled by this scene.
Yuzuru smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He slowly bent down and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Yukiko's ear, just like a son showing tenderness to his mother.
His older sister wanted to play role-playing games, and of course he wouldn't refuse.
Who doesn't love a story of a loving mother and filial son?
"Oh dear, Nan Nan has always loved to act cute since she was little~" Yukiko's red lips curled up slightly, and she reached out and gently pinched Yu Nan's cheek. Her thumb, painted with bright red nail polish, lingered on the corner of his lips in an ambiguous way, and she said coquettishly, "You're so big now and you're still so clingy to your mother."
Her actions perfectly portrayed the image of a mother who dotes on her child.
The three little ones stared in disbelief.
Ayumi was completely fooled. She cupped her face in her hands and exclaimed with envy, "So Yuzuru's mother is actually Yukiko! No wonder you two get along so well."
"After all, our Nannan is the most filial."
Yukiko smiled, her eyes crinkling, and suddenly stood on tiptoe to kiss Hanyu Nanami on the tip of his nose. "Right, my good son?"
The soft "pop" sound was no less than a thunderclap to Conan's ears.
His pupils behind his glasses contracted sharply—Mom, wasn't your kiss a bit too low?! Just two centimeters down and it would be your lips!
He felt an inexplicable anger rising within him.
Yet there was nowhere to vent.
I can't just stand up and say, "I'm her son!"
Ai Haibara appeared next to Conan at some point and handed him a bottle of bright green, iced green tea that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere: "To cool you down."
“…Thank you.” Conan gritted his teeth as he took the bottle, the bottle squeaking as he squeezed it.
Seeing this, the cunning little girl Ai withdrew her hand, and a more pronounced smile appeared on her lips.
See? He even has to thank us.
Tang Tianjing, completely oblivious to anything amiss, was still remarking, "What an enviable mother-son bond! By the way, who is this little boy...?"
He looked at Conan, who was emanating black energy, with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, this is..." Yukiko's eyes flickered, and she suddenly revealed a mischievous smile. "This is the neighbor's son. We don't know each other well, but he insisted on coming over to watch the movie this afternoon. We couldn't get rid of him no matter what we did."
She deliberately emphasized the words "not familiar" and even sighed helplessly; her acting was so convincing it was almost indistinguishable from reality.
Yuzuru gently patted Conan's head and said, "Little Conan, you should call me 'big brother'."
Conan's forehead veins bulged in a cross shape: "..."
He really wants to smash the green tea bottle in the faces of this "mother and son".
If you're not familiar with me, then you're not familiar with me at all.
Stealing girlfriends is one thing, but now he's even stealing his own mother.
Conan seriously suspects that he and Yuzuru are incompatible according to their birth charts. Every time he meets Yuzuru, nothing good ever comes of it. Yuzuru is practically his nemesis.
Ai crossed her arms and watched the scene unfold with a cold eye.
She noticed that Yuuki's hand was casually resting on Yukiko's waist, while the latter, under the guise of fixing her hair, was also touching Yuuki's handsome face from left to right with her fingertips.
"What a terrible sense of humor."
Ai commented in a low voice, but she didn't intend to expose him.
After all, Conan's name is in her little notebook.
So... Shinichi Kudo, your mother is gone!
The little girl secretly gloated.
.........
"And then, when will the Zero screening be held?"
Yukiko, who hadn't had enough of this role-playing game, showed no intention of explaining the truth to Karata Keizen. While asking about the screening time, she tightly clung to Hanyu Nan's arm, her ample bosom completely enveloping the boy's arm.
Is it okay if the mother and son have a good relationship?
"There's no way to say when right now." Tang Tianjing glanced uncertainly at his watch, frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, said, "I think it should be ready by seven o'clock tonight..."
He turned to the crowd with a slightly apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, could you please wait until then? Let's go inside and tour the place first."
OK~
Yukiko readily made a gesture, "Perfect timing to take the children on a tour."
Tang Tianjing breathed a sigh of relief. "Then please come this way, everyone."
He took the initiative to lead the way.
The others followed behind, and Yukiko "lovingly" took her "son's" arm, but her fingertips secretly drew circles in Hanyu Nan's palm: "Naughty little brother, how well are you playing the role of mother?"
"Your acting is as superb as ever, dear sister~" Yu Sheng Nan whispered in her ear, "But I didn't expect Mother to like it..."
A good older sister and a naughty younger brother, a loving mother and an obedient son.
The different identity transitions bring a different kind of excitement.
Conan, who was walking behind, frowned more and more deeply.
Although reason told him it was just one of his mother's usual pranks, the strange, almost imperceptible atmosphere between them made him feel like something was off...
"Stop looking." Ai appeared beside him again without him noticing, handing him a second bottle of green tea. "It'll hurt your eyes."
Conan: "...Thank you, but no need."
Damn it, why is that heartless little girl being so kind today? She even offered me green tea, which is not her usual style.
Conan silently complained to himself, completely baffled.
I always felt that the black-hearted loli was definitely up to no good.
"Kudo."
Suddenly, Ai spoke up, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you know how chameleons court?"
"Huh?" Conan looked at her, puzzled.
“Male attracts females by changing their body color.” Ai glanced meaningfully at the two people 'showing affection' not far away. “Sometimes humans do the same thing—except they use… role-playing.”
Conan looked completely bewildered: "What are you talking about...?"
Ai looked at him with pity, shook her head, and said nothing more.
This great detective's obliviousness to romantic relationships is almost the opposite of his sharpness when solving cases.
No wonder my girlfriend and mom became best friends.
